Wednesday evening Travalon went to visit his mother right
after work, so I went to Concert on the Square with Richard Bonomo and El
Vegetariano. The theme this week was the music of Journey and Queen, and the
Capitol Square was packed. The first half the orchestra did Journey songs, and
they did all their big hits, but in the second half they did some rather
obscure Queen songs. They did play “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and we assumed that was
the big finish… but then they played another non-hit! Odd choice to end a
concert with…
Last night Travalon and I had such a relaxing evening. Every
third Thursday during the summer there is a rooftop concert on campus (my
regular readers may remember how I once went to one with Light Bright and got
beaten up by a sunflower), and yesterday was a gypsy swing band. It had been raining
earlier, but the sun was back out by the time of the concert, so we went with
high hopes that it would be on the rooftop. However, they had decided to move
it inside, so we had a few hors d’oeuvres
and listened to the band, then we wandered out to the Union Terrace and had
cheeseburgers and corn on the cob while watching sailboats. There were so many
out yesterday evening! One had a really beautiful red, white, and green
spinnaker. On the way back to the car, we stopped into the campus art museum; we
particularly enjoyed the rooms with Asian and African art. One thing about
having to start work earlier – I get done earlier and have a lot more evening
to enjoy!
